Swimming with Dolphins at Discovery Cove

February 9, 2008

There is even less that I can say about today than yesterday. I’m almost speechless, which is a rare thing for me! Discovery Cove was not cheap. But I’m glad I spent the money. The photos above tell our story, but don’t show the amazing snorkeling pool full of wonderful fish you can see up [...]

Shuttle Launch at Kennedy Space Center

February 8, 2008

What can I say about a day that truly was unique? Experiencing the simulator version of a shuttle launch in the Shuttle Experience, then climbing inside one, then learning about the International Space Station in a 3D IMAX movie—all before seeing a real launch live . . . not many people get to do that!

Universal’s Islands of Adventure, Orlando

February 7, 2008

We are back in our hotel room after a long day in the second of Universal’s parks. This was an amazing day and we enjoyed it immensely, as you can probably tell from our photographs. The Hulk roller coaster towered terrifyingly above us as we entered the park. The noise was rather imposing also. I [...]

Wet n’ Wild in Orlando, Florida

February 6, 2008

We learned an invaluable lesson today about vacations in Florida. You really can’t do it all, and you actually don’t want to. Having spent a stimulating and enjoyable day at Universal Studios yesterday, we took someone’s advice and decided to have a day at a waterpark before hitting Islands of Adventure tomorrow. The idea of [...]

Super Bowl Aftermath at Universal Studios

February 5, 2008

This morning I was able to confirm what I had suspected last night by the pool. For the first time in my life I was watching the Super Bowl. Watching is probably too strong a word for it as I was dividing my attention between the big outdoor screen, my kids who were swimming, and [...]

The Journey is Over . . . the Adventure Begins!

February 4, 2008

We made it!! Tamasin said: In the end, when we finally arrived in Orlando, it was about 5:15 p.m. We went to our hotel, grabbed some food. and went to a sort of party with an outdoor swimming pool. It was great. Henry said in his diary: We’re here. I’m at the hotel and I [...]

At the Airport . . .

February 3, 2008

We’re sitting at Gatwick, having enjoyed what I fear may be our last healthy meal for a couple of weeks! We ate a fruit salad, a chicken, bacon and salad sandwich, and fresh fruit yogurt between us. I may be wrong, but my image of Orlando doesn’t include healthy salads being available. Tamasin is particularly [...]

America Beware . . . Warnie is Back!!

February 2, 2008

Yep—that’s right! This post marks the return of Warnie. I just can’t keep away any longer! Not only am I returning to reasonably regular fresh blogging, in less than 12 hours I’ll be jumping on a plane and living the “American dream” for two whole weeks! After much careful thought, I’ve also decided that you’re [...]

Out of the Mouths . . .

September 2, 2007

We had a lot of fun with our American visitors over the weekend. Some of my kids and I went to London with them on Saturday. We visited St Paul’s, the Westminster area, and the Tower of London, which we reached by boat. It was a great day, whose highlight for me was surely the [...]

George Whitefield’s Final Resting Place and the Lewis Revival

July 9, 2007

Yesterday it was a delight to see my old friends, Ian and Megan Jukes, and their three lovely kids. We went to visit a church founded by George Whitefield where he preached and is buried under the pulpit. I took loads of photos so have turned them into a slide show for you. If you [...]

TRAVEL – Business Trips Are All In The Mind

June 16, 2007

I have long ago learnt that travelling on business is a mind game. Is that delay in the airport a ‘nightmare’ or is it simply more time for contemplation or reading that book you brought with you? Is travelling alone a risk, boring, or an opportunity for rare peace and quiet in our busy world? [...]

TRAVEL DIARY – Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Steve Long – John Arnott’s Successor

November 13, 2006

This is Andrew and I outside the Toronto Airport Church which was, of course, the church in which the so-called “Toronto Blessing” originated. There was no prayer meeting going on today. This is not the place for me to comment any further on that movement, which over the last thirteen years has seen hundreds of [...]
